The Tronsmart Prometheus looks more like a spaceship (or futuristic eyeware) than a device that lets you run Android apps on your TV. But this Android box is designed to turn any TV into a smart TV capable of running Android apps so you can surf the web, watch internet video, or play games.

It’s also got a few things going for it that most Android TV boxes lack, including an Ethernet jack, 3 full-sized USB ports, and a full-sized SD card slot.

Geekbuying sells the box for $90, but the folks at the internet retailer sent me a demo unit a few months ago. Since it’s been sitting on my shelf long enough, I figure it’s time to give it away before it starts to look hopelessly out of date.

Tronsmart Prometheus

This contest is for one Tronsmart Prometheus TV box. It features a 1.5 GHz Amlogic M6 dual-core processor, Android 4.12 Jelly Bean software, HDMI and AV cables, a power supply, and a power button on the back (something that’s worth pointing out since many Android TV boxes don’t have one).

While the Amlogic processor isn’t exactly a speed demon by today’s standards, it should pack enough power to handle 720p and 1080p HD video in a variety of formats. You can find more details in a review from CNX-Software from earlier this year.

Here’s how to enter to win this TV box:

  10. Tronsmart. huh? When I first saw the photo I thought they were trying to make it look like like a detached saucer section from an Enterprise-class starship. Regardless of intent to look like Tron, or StarTrek, I’d plug it into my TV.

  11. An excellent present for my parents. I’m a “TVless” person and I’m not planning to change that anytime soon. The Web is too awesome to waste time on TV.

  12. If at first you don’t succeed try try again. Why not it’s worth a shot

  16. I have always wanted to try one of these Android TV sticks. I have heard good things about the Prometheus.

  17. I’ve been in the market for an android stick. Not so much in the market for a Romulan Vessel, but why not. I wish it had cloaking capabilities…

  18. This looks strange and I don’t know how I’d connect it, but it’s worth a shot. Sign me up.

  19. Love your site. Bought a Tronsmart CX-919 for home and would love to give something similar to my parents, especially since their wireless has given them problems and their entertainment center is wired for ethernet!

  20. Not to bad read about this model some time back, would love rto have one.

  21. Just bought cx919 and I couldn’t be happier, my second tv is waiting another android box, I hope it is this…

  22. Android always seems to be ahead of Apple in all categories. I would love to get one of the and dump my $150.00 a month bill

  23. I’d bury that thing deep in my entertainment cabinet. That thing is ugly!

  24. I’d love the chance to try out this fancy android device, I hope it’s bluetooth compatible, I’d love to use this with my bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and see if I can get by bluetooth playstation controller to work with it, emulator heaven!!!

  25. I could use a smarter TV now that I’ve given my mom my extra TV and Roku.

  26. Have been searching for a box to replace the lackluster SmartTV functions in my Panasonic Viera. This looks promising. 🙂

  27. The script for the movie Prometheus was a mess but I’d like to watch Prometheus on the Prometheus.
